Art Galleries in Dallas
Dallas has the most ambitious art collecting culture in Texas and one of the most significant concentrations of museum-quality institutions in the American South. The Dallas Museum of Art's permanent collection - with particular strength in European decorative arts and pre-Columbian and Indigenous American art - anchors the Arts District alongside the Nasher Sculpture Center, whose Renzo Piano building and garden contain one of the finest collections of modern and contemporary sculpture in the world. The commercial gallery scene concentrates in the Design District and the Arts District around Harwood Street, where dealers represent artists of international standing. Dallas's collector base has historically been among the most serious in Texas, supporting a market for work that competes with New York and Los Angeles in ambition and price.

The Dallas Arts District
The Dallas Arts District stretches for nearly 70 acres in the heart of downtown, a concentration of cultural institutions that was decades in the making and represents one of the most significant civic investments in the arts of any American city. The Nasher Sculpture Center, founded by developer and collector Raymond Nasher, presents one of the world's finest collections of modern and contemporary sculpture in a building by Renzo Piano, with a garden that displays monumental works by Calder, Serra, di Suvero, and other masters. The Dallas Museum of Art holds a permanent collection of global breadth with particular strength in pre-Columbian and African art, and offers free general admission. The Crow Museum of Asian Art, recently moved to the Arts District, holds a significant collection of South and Southeast Asian, Chinese, Japanese, and Korean art in a handsome building by architect James Pratt. Commercial galleries in the Design District, along Dragon Street and Oak Lawn Avenue, represent the city's contemporary art market, serving a collector base that includes some of the most significant art buyers in the South. The Deep Ellum neighborhood, east of downtown, supports a younger, more experimental creative community.
